Welcome to The Division of Forensic Psychology

The Division of Criminological & Legal Psychology, founded in 1977, was renamed the Division of Forensic Psychology (DFP) in 1999. The Division exists to represent the interests of the increasing number of psychologists whose work involves them in the Criminal and Civil Justice systems.

The Division draws its membership from a broad range of psychologists working in the Criminal and Civil Justice systems. Division membership includes forensic psychologists working in academic settings, prison services, health, education and social services.

The website contains a wealth of information for members including: publications exclusive to the Division (e.g. Issues in Forensic Psychology and Forensic Update), forthcoming DFP events, the training required to become a Chartered Forensic Psychology and much more!

All information can be be accessed via the links down the left-hand side of this page - please feel free to browse.
